The early Internet meme's are well documented. But I wanted to bring some light to the one's I thought were more hilarious when they went viral in the early 2000s. As a child of the 80s, when the first 80s cartoon parodies went live, I thought it was hysterically brilliant. From bloopers to "porkchop sandwiches", the one's below made me LOL and ROFL.

These were the the first viral vids for Generation X. C'mon, if you remember these you know they still give you a chuckle 10 years later. First up, Thundercats blooper reels. There was no YouTube back in the day. These videos propogated and were sent via .mov or swf exe files via e-mail.

To hear Lion-O, Panthro and Mumm-ra curse was unbelievably funny. Hell I hear it now and it's fuckin hysterical. Good times.

Up next, all the videos from the GI Joe PSA spoofs by Fenslerfilm. The "porkchop sandwiches" one is by far the best and still cracks me up to this day. If you remember the first time you saw these, raise your hand.

"Porkchop Sandwiches"

More GI Joe. OMG, I remember when we'd quote this shit left and right and start cracking up during way important meetings.

"I'm a computer"

Body Massage....umm nuff said.

When he calls him "blanco nino" I lose my bowels.

Yeah it doesn't make sense. That's why it's awesome.

"Reggae"

Poor Spirit. Can you believe his eagle was named "Freedom"??? That's so ironically wrong.

"Campfire"

And finally, the Superfriends dubbed with the Budweiser Waaaassssup True commercial. Still a classic.

So what other early Cartoon Internet meme's do you all remember? What's your earliest recollection of Internet meme's. If one of you says Rebecca Black, I'm offically banning you from the site.

The Thundercats one is my favorite ever. Used to watch that on repeat. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Totally forgot about the GI Joe PSAs though, although I never saw the Porkchops one. And I thought I saw them all before back in the day.

Hey, this has nothing to do with this post (although the videos are funny!) but i was just reading your post about how you were invited to Vortex's NYC Halloween Haunted House back in March and that you would probably do a walkthrough post/review after the event. Just wondering, has the event happened yet and if so are you still planning on making a post about it?
